The difficult seasonal conditions continued up to harvest- a dry winter and spring were followed by very hot and dry December and January. 2020 was a difficult season to manage for both grower and winemaker with yields much lower than anticipated. Older vineyards with deeper roots remained steadfast under these conditions and produced small volumes of deeply concentrated wines from the lower yields. While the yields have been small, the overall quality has created deeply colored and textured wines that resonate their place of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060440973547,"sku":"SK97119166","price":799.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/TorbreckTheLaird_4afebe5e-4812-427f-9a5b-de2c2ecef2a3.jpg?v=1763083457","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2020-torbreck-the-laird-750ml","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
